English language services

Living abroad is exciting and fun. But some things can be difficult to adjust to and from time to time you may want to get in touch with people from "back home".

There are a number of institutions that organise meetings, offer information and advice or just help you getting in touch with the English speaking community in Munich. Also as a non-German citizen your home country's consulate is your premier source of help and advice as well as the place you have to go to to vote or renew your passport. All these institutions in Munich are there for you, so go ahead and find out about their services.

ConsulatesThe American, British, Canadian and Irish Consulates in Munich provide a full range of consular and passport services for their citizens in the state of Bavaria. Check out their sites for more information on contact, opening hours and current activities.

Cultural InstitutionsThese institutions organise lectures, seminars, theatre plays and talks in English. As a visitor you can use their libraries, usually a choice of English language newspapers and videos and online research tools. They are a meeting point for the English speaking community in Munich as well as a place to get in touch with the locals interested in your home country.
